Brian Webb's first offer came from Tulane but the Miller-McCoy defensive lineman had picked up several more since the end of February.

Mississippi State, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette,
South Alabama and Southern Miss also offered Webb, but he decided to stay close
to home as he committed to the Green Wave on Tuesday afternoon.

"I've been talking to the coaches since I got to
Miller-McCoy in my 10th grade year," Webb said. "They were the first school to
offer me, as well. I went up there for the first time about a week ago and I
just liked it. It felt like home. And the education is a plus, too."

UCLA, Oklahoma State and Nebraska were also showing
interest in Webb, who stands just over 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 285 pounds.

He finished last season with 63 tackles, 36 tackles for a
loss, 13.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and a safety.

Webb becomes the second commitment of the 2015 class for
the Green Wave, joining Warren Easton athlete Devin Glenn. Tulane has made a
push under Coach Curtis Johnson to keep Louisiana athletes close to home and
Webb said that also played a big role in him committing to Tulane.

"It's going to be great," Webb said. "My family doesn't
have to travel too far. It's right around the corner for some of them. And I
also believe I can go there and play my first year and do really well.

"My head coach, Coach (Jeremiah) Scott really helped me
with the recruiting process. And when my mom and my grandma went up to Tulane on
Monday, my mom loved it. I feel that I'm going to play there and get a good
education."

Webb also said his relationship with tight end/running
backs coach David Johnson and defensive line coach Kwahn Drake also played a
role in his commitment.

He added that while he knows that he's going to still have
schools coming after him, he's still "committed to Tulane."

"I'm also still going to go to camps but I'm going just to
get better," Webb said. "I want to see what else I can learn to become a better
player."
